The Senate and House voted to include Young and Kaine\u2019s legislation as amendments to the FY26 NDAA.\n\n\u201cI\u2019ve been pushing for years to repeal these outdated AUMFs, and I am pleased that they are included in the final NDAA,\u201d said Senator Young, a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. \u201cIt\u2019s time to close the book on these forever wars once and for all. Thank you to my colleagues and President Trump for ensuring this important provision remained in the final bill.\u201d\n\n\u201cIt has been more than half a century since the United States repealed a war authorization and formally ended an armed conflict. After years of hard work alongside colleagues on both sides of the aisle, advocates, veterans, and military families, I\u2019m glad that we are one step closer to finally repealing the 1991 and 2002 Authorizations for Use of Military Force against Iraq,\u201d said Senator Kaine, a member of the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees. \u201cWhen President Trump signs this legislation into law, it will be a historic victory for our country and for the American people who want to finally close the book on this endless war.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:09:11Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.young.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/young-kaine-applaud-inclusion-of-bipartisan-legislation-to-formally-end-iraq-wars-in-fy26-ndaa/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.438304014503956, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
